A traditional 3 storey Victorian family house -with private entrance to the comfortable and spacious ground floor flat. There's ample parking and a large garden edging the sea loch, giving direct access to the shore by a wee slipway suitable for canoes, kayaks and small boats. The picturesque Crinan canal is easily accessible via steps on the opposite side of the road where the towpath is ideal for biking and walking. You can smell the sea and hear the oyster catchers, ducks and seabirds from the house or garden.
The flat has a modern kitchen, a separate dining room and a pleasant lounge with a log stove. There are 2 spacious double bedrooms. There's a comfortable sofa bed which can be used for extra guests in the lounge. Electricity, logs and free wifi is available for guests.
The wee slip leads down to the stony shore where the tide recedes for almost half a mile revealing expanses of sandy flats where you can dig for razor fish & cockles. Easy access for guests with canoes, kayaks or small boats.
The Crinan Canal is right across the road from the house. The house is tranquil as it is set back from the road nearer the shore. The canal is excellent for anybody wishing to bike on the towpath which stretches from Ardrishaig (where there is a small interesting harbour basin and locks), to Crinan, where the locks open out to the Atlantic west coast.
Lots to do in the area including walking, biking, water sports, etc. The bowling green and tennis courts are 5 mins walk from the house and the local indoor swimming pool at Lochgilphead is approx. 1 mile. Seaside House is situated about half way between Lochgilphead and Ardrishaig on the road to Campbeltown.
Boat trips can be taken in the summer from Crinan and Ardfern including the exciting boat trip to The Corryvreckan whirlpool.
Seaside is a great base for touring the west coast and the famous Mull of Kintyre on The Atlantic Coast. The Isles of Arran, Gigha, Islay (8 malt whisky distilleries) and Jura are nearby as is the colourful fishing village of Tarbert, Loch Fyne.
The archaeology museum, the standing stones and ancient burial sites at Kilmartin are about 9 miles north, a for those interested in ruined castles.
In nearby Lochgilphead there are a selection of eateries and gift shops with quality goods. There is also a very good butcher in the main street in Lochgilphead as well as a large supermarket at the top of the town.
For folk wishing to hire a bike or for a repair there is an excellent bike shop on the main street in Lochgilphead.
I am busy with my work in Oban, especially in the summer, but am available by mobile phone or my mum, Anne can assist guests.
This area has outstanding natural beauty with wonderful views of the loch and birdlife from the garden.
We are on the main A82/A83 route from Glasgow and Glasgow airport. Approx 2 - 2.5 hours.
Good bus service by City Link / West Coast Motors from Buchanan Street bus station in Glasgow with links from Edinburgh and other cities and towns.
Plenty of parking space

Quiet with a pleasant garden. Nearby walks and cycle rides along the Crinan Canal. The sea shore at the bottom of the garden - the sight and sounds of oyster catchers herons eider ducks and many other birds

The host canceled this reservation 27 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Fantastic home with easy access to the beach and the rest of the Loch. Enjoyed walking along the canal and seeing the boats going through the locks. Would definitely consider coming again soon!

Josiah & Jocelyn2016-05-17T00:00:00Z

After a quickly resolved issue with our booking, Anne was a wonderful host who went above and beyond for our visit. She provided breakfast supplies for our late arrival and was available for any Adobe on what to see in the area. We were placed in the top floor flat due to a cross booking and the place was much better than we expected.

Skye2016-05-31T00:00:00Z

Very spacious, spotless and good location - we could walk onto the river bed and access the canal from just across the road. Just need a bit more good weather :-)

Ken2017-09-07T00:00:00Z

House was exactly as described. We had a very warm welcome with log burner already up and running. Instantly felt relaxed. House was spotless clean and furnished to an excellent standard. We had a fabulously relaxing few days and definitely plan on going back. I would recommend to anyone. Would be amazing place to stay in the summer. Loved it.

The place was amazing, the view, garden and sea was the best. Findind the place was a bit difficult but was alot to do with the weather. I would stay there again if i have to go back there.

Ricardo2016-09-13T00:00:00Z

What a fantastic week away we had in your beautiful flat right by the loch!! Arriving late in the evening, the stove was alight and heating on, and food, tea and coffee available for us - it was such a pleasant surprise. We felt very welcome there - the flat is peaceful and quiet, all rooms very large, and it was equipped with everything we would need for our stay (plenty of stuff to cook a Christmas dinner!!). A short walk to the end of the garden and you have such a wonderful view across the loch. We took our bikes up with us and found some fabulous cycle routes in the area. In addition, there are plenty of great walks. It was a fantastic location for our Christmas break and we felt a week away was just not sufficient to see and do everything we wanted. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality.

This is our family holiday home with beautiful views over Loch Gilp. The Crinan Canal runs behind the house where you can walk or cycle to Cairnbaan and then onto Crinan. It’s a peaceful setting with a large garden and view of the Isle of Arran down the loch. Plenty of private parking space. All bed linen and towels provided.

Our 3 bedroomed home is spacious with everything you need to ensure you have a comfortable and memorable stay.

This location is a great base for exploring the beautiful sights around this area. We are happy to provide you with any information you require if you intend travelling around further than the immediate area.

Amazing staying, the apartment is very spacious, everything that you need for a comfortable staying is available as your own home. Jeanette is very kindly, has a lot of suggestion what to do and leaflets are available for further visits.

Christian2016-08-14T00:00:00Z

We didn't actually get to meet Jeanette but she was in contact with me and made sure that we had all the information we needed. She also made herself contactable so that if I or the other guests had any queries, we could contact her when necessary. Altogether we had a great stay. The location of the flat is very convenient for walking into the village and for a drive to various sites e.g. Inverary Castle etc. We would definitely like to stay there again!

Eleanor2016-09-03T00:00:00Z

Encore une fois, belle maison propre dans une superbe région!

Simon2016-09-16T00:00:00Z

We are a family of four that just loved staying at this flat for four nights. It is clean, spacious and beautifully decorated, and provides a nice range of high quality utensils (crockery, mug, pans etc) that make self-catering a pleasure. The home is clearly much loved and well looked-after. The three bedrooms are all lovely (ideally for a family with 2 or 3 kids), with interesting books and musical instruments dotted around. The setting is just spectacular, with the shimmering waters, bird life and pebble beach of Loch Gilp in front, and the truly wonderful Crinan canal (a bike or walk route) accessible directly from the back garden. This is a wonderful region to potter around for a few days, with the archaeological sites of Kilmartin a short drive or bike ride away, and lovely small towns and fish ports dotted around. Jeanette gave us a friendly welcome at the start, and was available on text to answer any questions that popped up. We had a wonderful time and would gladly come back here again.

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful house with very nice furniture and a good kitchen . The views over the Loch were amazing And behind the house is a canal with a footpath along . Jeanette was very helpful also in advising about trips . shops are not to far and. Villages around very pittoresque . We. Were there for three days but wish had stayed longer . Very nice !

Jeannet2016-08-11T00:00:00Z

Jeanette was a wonderful host. She was thoughtful and kind and stayed in touch throughout our stay. The apartment was spacious and clean with a lovely view over the loch.

From September 1, 2017 we made our apartment available on Airbnb. Two sets of guests so far - two five-star reviews!
'Rough Guide' readers have voted Scotland to be 'the most beautiful country in the world', and the view from our sitting room is proof of just how beautiful it is.
Built in the style of a Baronial Hall at the beginning of the twentieth century, Erines was the fantasy of a wealthy but eccentric Dutchman.
We love it here; we know that if you visit us, you will love Erines too!

Our first-floor apartment has recently been remodelled and fitted with a new walk-in power shower, a hardwood floor and with all new appliances in the kitchen.
The galley kitchen, dining area and sitting room are combined into one attractive space that overlooks stunning views of Loch Fyne. The kitchen is well equipped, with oven, hob, microwave (which also makes toast!), espresso coffee machine and dishwasher. There is a fridge, a washing machine and a tumble dryer also available for your use.
There are two bedrooms, one with a double bed, the other with a double bed plus a single bunk above, and the two-seater sofa in the living room is also a sofa bed.

Erines House is set back from Loch Fyne and is surrounded on three sides by thousands of acres of woodland. Our nearest shop is three miles away at Ardrishaig. Nights are quiet, and skies are dark.
When we stay at Erines ourselves, our main theme is always 'Fish'!
We recommend the Seafood Cabin at Skipness Castle, the Starfish restaurant in Tarbert as well as the Grey Gull in Ardrishaig.
But our strongest recommendation that you search for the wet fish shop in Tarbert village - you will have to ask, as it is hidden away - and you bring home the most beautiful fresh fish you have ever tasted. Cook it in your own kitchen the way you prefer, and enjoy your meal while looking out over the loch as night falls. There are few experiences more pleasurable!
Or, you might like to do some fishing yourself! You can normally fish for free from any of the beaches or piers that you will find everywhere - where there is a real chance that you might also catch sight of a sea otter! Course fishing in wild water is generally free, but angling club waters are restricted to members - or those anglers who have purchased a fishing permit and when, if you are lucky, you may even get a whole loch to yourself!
To assist you, we keep a number of fishing rods and some tackle in the apartment, so please feel free to use them. Put a rod in the back of your car on Day One, and don't waste an opportunity. All we ask is that you replace any tackle that you lose. There are also folding chairs and a picnic basket to take with you, so you can enjoy a full day out - fishing and picnicking, often in solitary splendour.

We wanted to explore the stone circles around Kilmartin, and Erines House was perfect for doing so. Also located close enough for us to explore Arran on our bicycles. The house was unexpectedly grand, it felt like arriving at a stately home! On entering the hallway, with the spectacular stairway, we both felt like we were in a film. The apartment was warm and surprisingly spacious with everything we needed to relax as if at home. We had two bicycles for which there was ample storage space in the enormous entrance hall. The place was very quiet while we were there, even though there are other apartments within the house. We could have gazed at the magnificent views from the large living room window all day long, the light and weather over Loch Fyne was a joy to behold. The water from the taps is a brown colour due to the peat in the area, but it's fine for washing, cooking and brushing your teeth, and we supplemented with 5l bottles of water from the local co-op for drinking. Wendy and Tony left a few treats that we thought was a lovely gesture. We would have no hesitation recommending Erines House to other guests, and hope to return in future to continue exploring this beautiful area. One thing to aware of was that we had no phone reception at the house, although (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) worked okay with the wifi.

My home is situated in the middle of Kilmartin village. The world renowned Kilmartin Museum is 50 metres across the road. Explore the Glen's prehistoric monuments and sites. The local hotel, bar and restaurant is 200m walk away. The accommodation comprises of 2 double bedrooms, a large bathroom with separate shower, a utility cupboard and a spacious living room, dining area and kitchen. There are 2 private parking spaces to the rear of the building. Oban is 45mins North.

Maggie was a helpful and thoughtful host. Everything was there for a comfortable stay. A home away from home. It was relaxing with clear instructions for everything we needed and enough space for myself, husband, baby and dog! Lovely location a 40 minute drive from Oban. Perfect if you dont wish to stay in the town itself. Kilmartin is charming place with a museum, and local pub which served a lovely lunch! The perfect setting after a busy day exploring Oban. Highly recommended.

Maggie We had a delightful time at your place. It was beautiful, well located, well stocked with things that we needed and your bathroom was comfortable. We slept well in your large bed and we're very happy that you stopped in each morning to make sure that all was going well. You are fortunate to have a very supportive community in which the apartment is located they were helpful when we first arrived.

Free WiFi and Tea and Coffee. A cosy 'Wee' apartment in a delightful fishing village on the West coast of Scotland, at Tarbert Loch Fyne.
Private parking and a unique small apartment situated by the harbourside, with access to great seafood. Breakfast can be booked if required.

Artisan Studio is a unique small apartment.
Please note this is a cosy 'Wee' space. It has been thoughtfully designed and tastefully furnished with a spectacular folding bed that allows extra space in the living area. The rooms comprise a living/bedroom where the bed folds out from the wall. A good sized kitchen for two with a two ring induction hob and a combo microwave / convector oven. There is a shower room. With heated towel rail. Artisan studio is new to the market as of April 2016.
It has been designed by John and Kristen to provide a small studio apartment in the heart of the fishing village.
There is Wifi and ethernet point access and an internet enabled tv.
Complimentary Tea and coffee are provided.

This is a very special area and guests can relax and enjoy the beauty of the Kintyre region.
The seafood does not get any closer or fresher, scallops, crab, langoustines and mussels... It's all here.

Kristen and John are perfect and very welcoming hosts. The studio is ideally-located in a very picturesque setting, but if you are staying in (which the Scottish weather can encourage) then it has everything you need and is if anything bigger than the photos suggest. A wonderful base for exploring Tarbert or the surrounding countryside. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Mark2016-08-14T00:00:00Z

We had the most fabulous time at the studio. The bed is comfy and good storage space, plenty of room. John and Kristen were lovely hosts and very helpful. The studio has a real hand-crafted feel and you can tell lots of care and attention has gone into making it, which we loved. We'll be back

Stephanie and Neil2016-09-05T00:00:00Z

Communication prior to my stay was fantastic. Upon arriving I was greeted and shown around the apartment. The accommodation was perfect, modern, comfortable and in a peaceful location on Tarbert harbour. I would fully recommend a stay at the Artisan Studio.

Cosy 1st floor cottage flat. Surrounded by communal gardens in a block of 12 stone built (1900s) holiday flats. Benefits from sea view of the beautiful Kyles of Bute.
Minutes walk from both Hotel and Village store.
Sleeps 4

Constructed circa 1900, the Shore cottages building originally housed local workers. Now the cottage flats are mainly second homes.
Although there are 12 flats, they are all seldom occupied at the same time. Therefore the flat and surroundings offer great space for peacefully thinking.
Accommodation consists :
Main door and tiled hall with coat hooks
Bedroom – Double bed, built-in mirrored wardrobes provide ample storage
Open Plan Living and Kitchen area
Living area - Corner sofa bed, window seat, Wood burning stove, wall mounted Freeview television, PS3 for Blu-ray/games, Wi-Fi. Bonus NOW TV box available.
Kitchen – well equipped for creating some delicious home cooking, breakfast bar with folding leaf. Bonus of having washer-dryer and Nespresso machine
Toilet/Shower room – Decorated in a nautical style, electric shower (no bath)
Exterior:
Large Communal gardens and furniture – benches, picnic table, clothes lines

The Kames Hotel is only 5 minutes walk. The hotel is friendly with great food. Kames Village Convenience store is even closer, providing a range of fresh vegetables, foods, beers and wines, newspapers, etc.
Within Kames, and the adjoining village of Tighnabruaich, there are public tennis courts, 9 hole golf course, shinty pitch, sea fishing from pier, hair dresser, 4 hotels with bars and restaurants, bistro, cafe, art and antique shops, 2 post offices.

Great accommodation in great location. Liam is very quick to respond to messages and although we didn't meet face to face was friendly and really helpful. Great value for money.

We had a nice stay, apartment is as described, clean and has great facilities for the size. Kames is a quiet place, which we liked, but beware that you might have to travel around for +/- 1 hour often if you want to visit highlights in the region (I'd recommend Bute and Loch lomond national park). We traveled with a baby (9 months) which was fine - but the apartment might not be suitable for those who crawl around. We kept the cod in our own bedroom, which fitted easily.

This was a great experience, shore cortage is situated in a very peaceful and scenic place and it suited us perfectly as it is not too far from portavadie spa. The cottage was lovely and homely and me and my mum really enjoyed our stay

A great base for some fantastic running and cycling in this beautiful area.

Lovely flat with garden and view of the water. Within walking distance of Kames hotel which was great for drinks and excellent fish and chips - and dog friendly! There is a village shop and post office in the village which is handy. Great location for exploring the secret coast - and our host's tip for Ostel beach was a real highlight. Flat itself is perfect with nice double room, bathroom is small with a low shower, as noted in the description above, but it didn't cause us any problems and was hot! Well stocked kitchen /living room with everything you could need. Would definitely recommend to others.

Viewfield is a stylish yet welcoming upper floor flat with two larger bedrooms and a smaller bunk room. From the comfort of a cosy wood burning fire you will have breath taking sea views of the Kyles of Bute. Located in the village of Kames, Tighnabruaich and near the hidden beach at Ostel Bay. With the acclaimed Portavadie Marina five minutes away in the car, why not treat yourself to a day at the infinity pool or jump on the ferry for a day trip to Tarbet?

The front bedroom with a sea view has a double bed. The spare room, can be made up to be two single beds or a large double bed depending on your needs. The bunk room is ideal for children. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is a travel cot, baby bouncer and booster seat for the dining table available too. There is a modest toy box, dvd's (no TV channels) and a small selection of books which folks are welcome to use.

The following activities have become family traditions for us and some thing which you may appreciate too:
* Hidden Beach at Ostel Bay
* Forestry walks/Cycles (visit Argyll's Secret Coast)
* Kilfinnan Community Forest
* Mackarel Fishing off Tighnabruaich pier
* Sampling pub lunches in the local hotels
* Coffee & cake
* Portavadie Marina
* Day trip to Tarbet

Stunning views across the Kyles, easy access to everything you need. The walks in Kames and Tinny are fantastic, we even went "Up The Duin" to the big seat! Plenty to do in the area but equally amazing to chill out and do very little, it's like heaven on earth. The apartment is very well equipped, comfy beds, plenty of space for clothes etc and everything in the kitchen was in good working order. Shower was good too...... Great food in the Kames, great atmosphere and welcome in the Tinny hotel with the band playing. Everyone in the villages are friendly and welcoming, a trip out on the water on "The Morag" was excellent too. We will be back!!

Kirsty2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

The apartment is set in a stunning location and is clean and homely (loved the wood burner). Perfect place to go off grid and relax with kids!

The perfect Scottish getaway for those seeking peace and quiet and inspiration. The house was just lovely, with all the amenities that you'd ever need. The views were phenomenal, and waking up to the sea and hills every day was just breathtaking. Everyone in the village was so friendly and always had a cheery hello for you, too. This is one break that you need to fit in!

Our cosy flat has been lovingly converted from an old Post Office into a very modern and pretty home

This was once the local post office and then Tearoom
The property has one double bedroom, a nursery with cotbed and the corner sofa in the living room doubles as a double sofa bed

Peaceful and friendly village

Flat was clean and well equipped. Was a lovely place to stay for a night and Sarah was very accommodating at a days notice. Took us a little while to find the flat (if you're looking for it, it's across from the trailers!) but a helpful local directed us to the right place. The flat itself was absoloutely lovely and would definitely go again to this lovely flat in this beautiful part of the world!

Stephen2015-10-24T00:00:00Z

Great wee flat in fabulous countryside. The kids and I had great days on the beach and the apartment had everything we needed.

I had such a lovely time in Kames! The house was clean, well furnished, and very comfortable, exactly as advertised. The surrounding area couldn't have been more gorgeous if it tried, the locals were friendly, and there were good food options in the area (even if you were on foot, as I was). Thanks so much to Sarah for all the detailed public transportation help (I, as an American student, was not fully prepared for the intricacies of the Scottish public transportation system). All in all, a worthwhile adventure!

This is a lovely comfortable house. It is well furbished and very clean with hotel standard attention to detail. It has been refurbished in a homely but modern style. The area is beautiful. We were doing the five ferries cycle route so only stayed overnight but would recommend for a long weekend trip. The nearby hotel provides very good food and the local shop is open on sundays.

Greenwood South is a first floor self contained flat in a Victorian Villa overlooking the Kyles of Bute with views over the sea and the Isle of Bute, right on the seashore road. A perfect retreat for people looking for peace, quiet and nature.

Greenwood South is the perfect retreat for couples or singles who want to relax and get away from it all. Lovely pubs, great food and friendly locals make Kames a perfect spot for being idle or active, whichever appeals to you.

The main attraction of Argyll's Secret Coast is the sea, which is just outside your front door. There are magnificent views across the Kyles of Bute from the living room and bedroom windows. You can have your cup of tea in bed and watch the boats moored outside.
Kames is the sister village to Tighnabruaich. You can walk between the two easily and there are shops, restaurants, cafes and a gallery.
Kames has an award winning local village store which stocks everything you'll need including coal and wood for our fire, locally sourced produce such as Winston Churchill venison, smoked salmon and Tunnocks Teacakes! The shop is really friendly and very well stocked and open all year round.
The area is very beautiful and has an abundance of walking trails and stuff to do. If you're lucky you may see seals, porpoises and possibly wild otters in the bay from the window. Eagles have also been spotted a bit farther up the coast. The 'Secret Beach' at Kilbride Bay is fabulous. The West Highland Way is just behind the house for keen walkers.
There's a fantastic pub four houses along called the Kames Hotel which does great food and sometimes has local music. Highly recommended to all and is dog and people friendly. If you want a decent pint and a good meal then amble along there to sit in front of the fireplace.
Portavadie Marina (10 min drive away) now has a fully equipped leisure and spa facility with an infinity pool overlooking Loch Fyne, gym, beauty treatments and restaurants on site. It's great thing to do in good or bad weather as the pool is heated all year round.
Kames is also famous for it's Shinty team. Shinty is best described as a cross between hockey and lacrosse with menaces. Make sure you get to see some if there's a game on. It's quite a sight to the uninitiated. The Shinty pitch is the dividing marker between the two villages.
Nearby is Colintraive with its five minute ferry journey to the Isle of Bute and a magnificent pub called the Colintraive Inn. Bute is a fantastic island and well worth a days visit, particularly the Ettrick Bay Tea Rooms and the Musicka cafe in Rothesay. From Portavadie you can get the ferry across to Tarbert where you can eat fish straight from the boats at the Starfish restaurant (seasonal). The nearest large town is Dunoon with plenty of shops (including a Morrisons), bars and restaurants and the ferry to Greenock. Useful if you'd like to go and explore Largs (check out Nardinis art deco ice cream parlour) and Glagow if you feel the pull of the big city.
Glasgow is a city well worth exploring and has great Charles Rennie Mackintosh architecture. Check out the Celtic Connections festival in January if you're a music lover.
The flat has a cabin double bed with loads of hanging space and drawer space for you.
The kitchen has an under counter fridge with a small ice box/freezer, ceramic hob, oven, microwave, toaster and all the usual utensils for those who like to cook.
The bathroom has a heated towel rail and fan heater and a power shower, loo and basin. There is no bath. Towels are provided.

Homely, quiet yet accessible and within easy driving distance of many places of interest. Great views, options for walking and great local food all within easy range.

Sandy2017-07-31T00:00:00Z

This is a beautiful location with marvellous views from the picture window in the living room. Informative welcome pack was full of suggestions for enjoying the area. Easy check in and check out and a lovely welcoming feeling making me feel comfortable and at home!

The host does not live locally but we were provided with all the information we needed to gain access to the property and to get all appliances on and ready. We could easily contact him if needed. We only did to tell him how great it was. The situation of this flat is great with wonderful views and patient folk will be rewarded with splendid wildlife sightings. Dolphins were numerous and we could enjoy that spectacular dive into the sea by gannets. The interior of the flat is fine - it was clean and comfortable and provided for all needs. The bedroom was small but perfectly adequate and also enjoyed the views over the Kyle. The bed is much higher than normal but that was no problem to us and it made for storage underneath and even better views from bed. The living room has a sofa which is good and a couple of single stacked beds with cushions which was actually very comfortable. There's a telly with DVD player and some kind of radio/CD player which we didn't use. We barely used the telly - why would you with that big window to look out of. For some reason I found the dining chairs profoundly uncomfortable. My wife didn't. She thought they were great. I used one of the folding chairs which I found superb. We (Okay, my wife) cooked a meal each day, using the cooker. There's a microwave which we didn't use. There's a toaster we didn't use. The table is a good item suited for two people to eat at. The bathroom has loo, washbasin and power shower. All worked well. The local shops provide for most immediate needs. It is quite a long way to Dunoon if you feel you need a supermarket. We took the opportunity to see the Tignabruaich Players perform a couple of one act plays in Kames Hall. They were great fun. We thought this flat was very good value for money. We loved it.

We initially stayed for a weekend at Greenwood and then returned for a week, which was excellent! Gary and Mel's place is ideal for us and has everything we needed and more, and they are very helpful also. Fantastic location which we'd likely return to again!

Situated on the second floor of a 19th Century Victorian tenement, the small cosy loft apartment, extending to approximately 29 sqm, has a double bed in the bedroom, a fold down sofa bed in the living room, which is slightly narrower than a standard double bed, and traditional recess space off the living room with short single bed suitable for a child up to the height of 1.2m. The double bed is sited with one side against the wall so can be accessed from one side and the bottom only. The accommodation is ideally suited for couples or young families with one or two small children. Heating is by electric wall panel heaters and the living room also has an additional electric wood burning-style stove. Windows are traditional single glazed sash and casement. The bedroom and living room floors are carpeted, the hall laminate, sanded boards in the kitchen and a vinyl floor in the shower room. The shower is electric and hot water is provided by electric wall heaters. Summer and winter quilts are provided along with all bed linen, towels and tea towels. The apartment is of traditional and retro styling, not contemporary. The apartment has an assortment of games including chess, drafts, backgammon, scrabble, dominoes, jenga, cards and snakes and ladders. The apartment has excellent wifi provision.

Outstanding sea views to the Isle of Bute and Isle of Arran in the distance.
Quiet peaceful sea side location on Shore Road in the village of Kames which adjoins the neighbouring village of Tighnabruaich.
The area is one of outstanding natural beauty on the West coast of Scotland, an ideal place to stay for rest, relaxation and recreation. The area has excellent hill walking and rambling routes, beautiful peaceful coastal walks, hidden bays and beaches.
The Kames Hotel is only 5 minutes walk away - or 10 if you stroll along the beach. The hotel is exceptionally friendly with great food. The excellent Duncan's grocery store is about 10 minutes walk, providing a range of fresh vegetables, foods, beers and wines, newspapers, etc.
Within Kames, and the adjoining village of Tighnabruaich, there are public tennis courts, 9 hole golf course, shinty pitch, sea fishing from pier, massage, hair dresser, 3 hotels with bars and restaurants, bistro, cafe, 2 supermarkets, art and antique shops, 2 post offices, etc. The area is good for bird watching and there is fresh water fishing with permits obtainable from the post office.
The Scotsman newspaper identified the road from Glendaruel to Tighnabruaich as the best scenic drive in Scotland in it's issue of 29 March 2007.

Everything that people say about this place is absolutely true!!! Peter was one of the most courteous, informative and kind hosts we've had, and we didn't even meet him. Which is a shame because I could tell from our correspondence that we would have gotten on really well!! We drove the spectacular land route from Glasgow and could not believe how beautiful the scenery was. Then we arrived in Kames and equally couldn't believe how lucky we were! What a beautiful place and then the view from the apartment is stunning. Peter gave us directions and instructions to get inside and use everything inside the flat which were easy to follow, and we knew if we had any questions he would be easy to contact and very quick to answer. The flat is comfortable and well equipped. We used the kitchen to cook a few nights and found everything we might need. In short everything was excellent! We really enjoyed our stay, exploring the "secret coast" by foot and by car. We also loved the cute scarecrows around the area and enjoyed a nice meal at the tea house next to the gallery in tighnabruiach. Throughout we found correspondence with Peter to be delightful and he went beyond the call of host to make us feel welcomed in his flat. Thanks again Peter.

The apartment in Kames was the perfect get away we needed! What a delightful village. The new owner of the Duncan's village shop was very helpful and the Kames Hotel was excellent for dinner or stop in the pub. The apartment was just the right size for me and my 3 boys (ages 8-15). The view was priceless and the surrounding serenity was blissful! Peter was extremely accommodating and quickly responded to any request we had. We loved the welcome treats as they were very thoughtful after the long but breathtaking views and travel to Kames.

This flat is exactly what I wanted, and exactly as it is presented on the site; it's small but comfortable, peaceful but accessible. Perfect for its purpose (which, for me, was a bit of focused reading and writing). Peter was a model host - responsive, friendly, and unobtrusive. The listing is clear and accurate, and he was willing to negotiate with me on an unusually long-term stay. I have nothing but positive things to say about this experience.

A charming place with an amazing view. The appartment is spacious and perfect for holidays, we really enjoy our stay and this lovely and paceful place. Cedric

The apartment was as described, well equipped, cosy and very comfortable. The view from the apartment is outstandingly beautiful. It accommodates 2 adults very well. We loved this apartment - and the road and views driving in to Tighnabruich were stunning.

The Hideaway is close to the beach and a 10 minute drive from the village set in a rural location. It is self contained annex attached to the owners accommodation. It has one bedroom with a comfy super king sized bed in it, a large bathroom and a lounge with a kitchenette at one end and a comfortable small double sofa bed so that up to 4 guests can be accommodated. It is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets).

You could not ask for a better place for a peaceful break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The Hideaway is less than a 10 minute drive from Kames and Tighnabruaich with all the amenities that this lovely little village has to offer, 3 pubs/restaurants, a bistro, a village store, delicatessen, art gallery, Spar shop, post office and tea room and stunning views over to Bute, and yet you can enjoy our isolated rural location and the peace and quiet. We are situated at the very start of the track that leads down to gorgeous Ostel Bay (aka Kilbride Bay), the jewel in the crown of Argylls secret coast, you can take a 15-20 minute stroll down the track and admire the views to Arran on the way and then when you get to the bay be amazed at the beautiful secluded sandy beach with Arran directly in front of you. On sunny days you may be joined by a few other people but if you come out of season or on more overcast days you will quite often be the only people there... bliss!! Just sit there and let the rest of the world disappear.

Within easy easy reach of Tighnabruaich is the lovely Isle of Bute accessed via a 2 minute ferry crossing from Colintrive, stop and admire the stunning views over The Kyles of Bute from the viewpoint en route to Colintrive, photographers and artists eat your hearts out!!! Visit Benmore Botanical Gardens just outside of Dunoon, try the sailing school in Tighnabruaich or go out on a fishing boat from the pier. There is also kayaking in Tarbet (another a short ferry journey but this time from Portavadie which is a 15 minute drive away) pony trekking and easy access to the Cowal Way. In September there is the annual Kyles 10 miles run/walk around our peninsula (its goes past our front door and we are usually a water stop) so if you are looking to raise money for your favourite charity you could not find a more stunning location for it. In the summer there is also a scarecrow trail. You find a warm welcome from the villagers and you may come here as starngers but you will leave as friends.

The Hideaway is a lovely place to stay close to a stunning beach. Annette and Moris are really welcoming with homemade scones on arrival. We didn't stay in the Hideaway much as there is lots to explore but went back for dinner rather than going out and there was everything we needed in the Hideaway. If we're in the area again wed definitely go back. Thank you Annette and Moris

A really nice place, superbly designed and equipped and with very hospitable hosts. We, plus our two dogs, greatly enjoyed our stay. A bonus is the secluded sandy bay with magnificent views just twenty minutes walk away.

This is a wonderful place to stay in this lovely part of Scotland; comfortable, clean and in a fantastic location. Kilbride Bay is beautiful and the farm is quiet, peaceful but a short drive to several excellent pubs and restaurants. Annette and Moris were welcoming, informative, and kindly provided for our every need. We would have no hesitation in recommending. The 'skirlie' was great!

Lovely place in a lovely remote location. Anette and Morris are excellent hosts and looked after us very well. We had a thoroughly good time.

Traighuaine Ard is a modern, self-contained apartment with spectacular views over the sea and islands. Here you can enjoy the best of both worlds, the tranquillity of this beautiful area or a more active holiday exploring and enjoying the many activities available nearby - an endless choice of walks, watersports, a visit to the historic Kilmartin Glen, a wander around the National Trust Arduaine Garden or along the Crinan Canal or a trip to the isles from Oban (the "Gateway to the Isles").

The apartment is modern and comfortable with Travertine flooring throughout. The two bedrooms and the open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room with patio doors to a large decking area overlook the stunning views.
There's a choice of places to eat nearby (the nearest only 1 mile away) or you can cater for yourselves in the fully equipped kitchen.

The host canceled this reservation 29 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Recently redecorated top-floor flat in Victorian tenement in the tiny seaside village of Port Bannatyne on the Isle of Bute. Easily accessible from Edinburgh or Glasgow. Sleeps up to 4 (double bedroom and a very comfortable double sofa bed). Wifi.

Lovely little flat in a quiet nook of Port Bannatyne. We were only there for 3 days but felt totally at home. Visited amount Stuart nearby and went for plenty of nice walks. We would definitely visit again!

We had a lovely time at the Sam's flat in Port Bannatyne. It was perfectly clean and tidy, and much larger than we had expected. The flat had amazing views over the bay. The location was perfect for us as we were doing the West Island way. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bute!

Verity2016-05-17T00:00:00Z

cosy flat, great communication and easy to find ..thank you Sam

Jo2017-06-01T00:00:00Z

Really enjoyed staying at Sam's flat. I'd recommend staying in this spacious little apartment situated in a quiet village on the north side of the island with a wonderful aspect over the bay. Great communication before we arrived And during our stay and we've booked another stay in September

David2016-07-28T00:00:00Z

Sam's flat was in literally the last building before heading out of the island outpost of Port Bannatyne. Quaintly redecorated, the flat was a quiet little getaway, as described by many of the previous reviews. For those hoping to learn a little more about the place: - Port Bannatyne is a sleepy town about a five minute drive out of the more-rough-seeming-but-still-scenic-Rothesey. - Sam's is a nice base to explore the Isle of Butte, and its three tourist attractions, or to hide from civilization and pretend its still the 1970's. - Sam's flat is functional, clean, and has a very nice view and cosy vibe, although it is pretty light on the luxury. It's also up four flights of stairs - which I found fun and exhilarating to climb, but others may not. - The living room, while cosy and with a great view, retains the quite-noticable odor of a fifty-a-day smoker. You might not care about this, but was enough to keep us from using the living room much.

Realmente enjopyed la estancia en Sam.

Dorota2017-03-12T00:00:00Z

Beautiful home, full of character and perfect base for a weekend exploring. Sam was very helpful and the flat was clean and cosy. We also especially enjoyed being in Port Bannatyne, quite and pretty. We cycled everywhere and it was really quick and easy to reach from the ferry.

Hannah2017-02-05T00:00:00Z

The flat was fabulous. It had a nice old feel to it, had everything we needed and the view was just amazing! The photos of the view don't capture how amazing. We spent many hours just looking out! The flat is a stone's throw away from the promenade and bus stop, so really handy if you are relying on public transport. People probably need to bear in mind its on the 4th floor if the stairs would be difficult for them. All in all just perfect for us and I would highly recommend it for a peaceful getaway.
